Mercedes-Benz C-class Coupe

2001 Los Angeles Auto Show

Answering the question, "Why shouldn't everyone be able to afford a car bearing the three-pointed star?," Mercedes unveiled its all-new 2002 C-Class sports coupe. More than seven inches shorter and half an inch lower than its popular sedan sibling, the sports coupe nonetheless is said to provide nearly the same headroom and legroom. The two rear seats can be folded down individually or together to provide up to 38.9 cubic feet of cargo room. Power will come from the same supercharged 2.3-liter engine currently serving in the SLK roadster. Welcome touches include an extra-large sunroof, side-curtain air bags, Mercedes' ESP stability system, and an optional COMAND display with GPS navigation system and TeleAid. The coupe is due to appear in U.S. showrooms this summer -- at a price expected to be well below $30,000.
